SOILSCAPE is a four-year European project investigating how to improve public understanding of soil processes, spatial diversity and the soil functions in cultural landscapes. Therefore, the project is looking for artistic ideas that raise awareness of the importance of soil.
Three projects with a local, national or international focus will be funded in Switzerland. The Swiss call for proposals focuses on visual arts, educational video games and films. Artistic communication campaigns on the topic of soil, as well as other approaches that enable broad public participation are also possible.
Applications must be submitted exclusively via the opencalls.fund platform, linked below. The deadline for submissions is 30 September 2025.
Webinar with more information
A webinar for interested applicants from Switzerland will take place on 16 July 2025 from 10 to 11 am. For further information, see links below.
Wanted: jury members
A jury will evaluate the submitted projects and provide financial support for the implementation of the selected projects. SOILSCAPE is looking for independent experts from the fields of soil and environmental sciences, as well as art. Entries will be evaluated between October and December 2025. All jury meetings will take place online.
Interested experts can apply via the website opencalls.fund until 31 August 2025.
